Updating Vendors
Finally, if you downloaded the archive "without vendors", install the vendors by running the
following command from the command line:
php bin/vendors install
This command downloads all of the necessary vendor libraries - including Symfony itself - into
thevendor/ directory.
Configuration and Setup
At this point, all of the needed third-party libraries now live in the vendor/ directory. You also
have a default application setup in app/ and some sample code inside the src/ directory.
Symfony2 comes with a visual server configuration tester to help make sure your Web server and
PHP are configured to use Symfony. Use the following URL to check your configuration:
http://localhost/Symfony/web/config.php
If there are any issues, correct them now before moving on.
Setting up Permissions
One common issue is that the app/cache and app/logs directories must be writable both by the
web server and the command line user. On a UNIX system, if your web server user is different
from your command line user, you can run the following commands just once in your project to
ensure that permissions will be setup properly. Change www-data to the web server user
and yourname to your command line user:
1. Using ACL on a system that supports chmod +a
Many systems allow you to use the chmod +a command. Try this first, and if you get an error -
try the next method:
rm -rf app/cache/*
rm -rf app/logs/*
sudo chmod +a "www-data allow
delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
